Introduction

MAX TNT system overview

MAX TNT system overview

The MAX TNT chassis consists of the following major hardware components:

• Shelf controller

• 16 expansion slots

• Slot cards

• Power supplies (ac or dc)

Slot cards in a MAX TNT unit connect to each other via the backplane. The shelf controller
manages the system and interacts with the slot cards.

MAX TNT shelf

The MAX TNT chassis is referred to as a shelf. It unifies all components into an operational
unit. The MAX TNT shelf contains one slot for the shelf controller, sixteen slots for the slot
cards, and two power supply bays. The backplane contains multiple buses that interconnect all
slots.

MAX TNT supported slot cards

Table 1-1 lists the slot cards supported on a MAX TNT unit and identifies the port speed and
port capacity for each card type.

Before installing your MAX TNT unit, read the relevant materials and make sure that a PC
with the necessary software is available. Check the contents of your MAX TNT package, and
select an appropriate installation site. Make sure that you have the required tools and
equipment. Also familiarize yourself with the back panel.

Warning: Before installing your MAX TNT unit, be sure to read the safety instructions in the

Edge Access Safety and Compliance Guide. Also read Appendix C, “Safety-Related Electrical,
Physical, and Environmental Information.” in this hardware installation guide for information
specific to your product.

Before you install a MAX TNT unit, make sure you have the following:

• A suitable location with adequate power.

• At least one active T1 or E1 line set up for bidirectional calling. (Bidirectional calling

enables you to test the unit hardware by having the MAX TNT unit dial out on one
channel and answer on another channel.)

• A local PC or workstation with VT100 ASCII terminal-e mulation software (You must
assign an IP address through a connection to the serial port of the MAX TNT unit. Later,
you can use Telnet to configure the system.) The PC or workstation must be set to the
following values:

– 9600bps
– Direct connection
– 8 data bits
– No parity
– 1 stop bit
– No flow control

MAX TNT Hardware Installation Guide 2-1

Preparing for Installation

Checking the package contents

When connected to the shelf-controller serial port, the PC or workstation acts as a console
terminal through which you can configure the unit.

• A workstation on a different subnet, from which you can ping the unit to verify the
configuration.

• The designated IP address for the unit.

• The designated default gateway for the unit, if your setup requires one.

• (Optional) A workstation with an Ethernet LAN connection for connecting the unit to the

Ethernet network.

• Blank single-slot filler cards for any unused slots in the unit.

Checking the package contents

MAX TNT package contents vary, depending on the base unit and slot cards you order. After
opening the package verify that you have the system you ordered. Figure 2-1 shows a MAX
TNT shelf.

Figure 2-1. MAX TNT shelf

Verify that the package also contains the following items:

• Power cable.

• Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) cards.

• Rack-mounting kit for mounting the MAX TNT unit in a 19-inch or 23-inch rack.

• Any slot cards you ordered with the system. If you ordered them separately, check the

separate packaging.

If you are missing any items, contact your Lucent reseller.

Preparing for Installation

Selecting the installation site

Selecting the installation site

Before you choose a setup location for a MAX TNT u nit, read and follow the site and electrical
requirements defined in Appendix C, “Safety-Related Electrical, Physical, and Environmental
Information.”

Select the setup location carefully. Keep in mind that the unit requires proper ventilation and
space for current and future cabling requirements. You can rack-mount a MAX TNT unit in a
standard equi pm en t cabinet with a width of 19 or 23 inches ( 48 . 2 6c m o r 58 .4 2 cm ), or place it
on a flat surface as a free-standing unit. For more information see Appendix C,
“Safety-Related Electrical, Physical, and Environmental Information.”

Required installation tools and equipment

To install MAX TNT hardware, you need the following tools and equipment:

• RS-232 straight-through modem cable for connecting a PC or workstation to the unit

• Antistatic wrist strap and mats

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

• 1/8-inch standard sc rewdriver

• 3/16-inch standard screwdriver

• 3/8-inch socket wrench

• (Recommended) Mechanical lift

Status lights on the shelf-controller back panel

The status lights (also called LEDs) on the MAX TNT back panel can be helpful if you
experience a problem, especially if it occurs shortly after power on. Figure 2-4 shows the
location of the status lights on the back panel and Table 2-2 describes them.

Light Color Description

1 Green On when the unit has power.
2 Green On for any functioning shelf in a multishelf system, whether it is

configured as master or slave.

3 Yellow Behaves as follows:

• Illuminated when you restart the unit

• Goes out after the unit passes its power-on self test (POST) and is

running

• Blinks if a fatal error has occurred

4 Yellow This is the multishelf alarm light. If the master shelf stops operating, this

light illuminates on each slave shelf for about 9 seconds. It does not

illuminate on the master shelf during a multishelf alarm condition.
5 Green On when power supply A is installed and working.
6 Green On when power supply B is installed and working.
7 Yellow On when power supply A is installed and a fault occurs.
8 Yellow On when power supply B is installed and a fault occurs.

Read the guidelines before installing your MAX TNT unit in a cabinet or chassis. If you install
it in a cabinet, install an exhaust shield on the unit. To provide an interface for the unit’s initial
configuration, you have to connect the serial port of the primary control module to a
workstation. Before applying power to the unit, verify that a card is present in the top PCMIA
slot of any installed control modules. Also verify that power supplies are properly grounded
and that all desired slot cards (expansion modules) are installed.

Warning: Before installing your MAX TNT unit, be sure to read the safety instructions in the

Edge Access Safety and Compliance Guide. Also read Appendix C, “Safety-Related Electrical,
Physical, and Environmental Information” in this hardware installation guide for information
specific to your product.

Guidelines for installing units in a rack or cabinet

Keep the following information in mind when installing MAX TNT units in a rack or cabinet:

• You must install an exhaust shield on the exhaust side of each MAX TNT unit to ensure
that hot air from one unit is not being blown into adjacent units. The exhaust side is on the
left as viewed from the front of the unit. See “Installing a MAX TNT exhaust shield” on
page 3-6.

• Do not concern yourself with air gaps between MAX TNT shelves on a rack, because the
unit’s fans sufficiently cool each shelf.

MAX TNT Hardware Installation Gulide 3-1

Installing a MAX TNT Chassis

Rack-mounting a MAX TNT unit

• Racks with open sides are recommended because the MAX TNT fans vent on the side of
the unit.

• Ensure adequate cooling in the room.
– The maximum recommended ambient temperature for MAX TNT models is 104°

Fahrenheit (40° Celsius). Take care to allow sufficient air circulation or space
between units when a MAX TNT unit is installed in a closed or multirack assembly,
because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater
than room ambient temperatures.

– In enclosed racks, make sure that openings exist in the floor underneath each cabinet

to allow the air conditioning up into the cabinet.

– Exhaust fans at the top of the cabinet are recommended but not required. At a

minimum, the cabinets must be ventilated at the top.

Rack-mounting a MAX TNT unit

Before installing the unit in a rack, you must install the rack ears as illustrated in Figure 3-1.
Rack ears are normally shipped with your unit. If you did not receive them, contact your
Lucent reseller. Apply 7 to 8 inch-pounds (0.8 to 0.9 joules) of torque to each screw.
